HP printers don't print correctly now

Hi guys.
Do you have this problem? Open some OpenOffice ODT file which contains several pages and try to print it (all pages). The printer must be HP Deskjet. First page is OK but second and other are a mess which can't even be read. Everything is up to date, upgraded just today. Is it possible to fix?

Don't point to an upgrade as the cause of your problem without thoroughly checking. Did you roll back the upgrade to see if the problem disappeared?

No. What exactly should I roll back? What packages?

For starters? You should check your pacman log to see what was upgraded - if hplip got upgraded at all.

No problem here with a 9 pages odt document on a deskjet 6940.

I use per pacman log:

[2010-10-19 21:57] upgraded hplip (3.10.6-1 -> 3.10.9-1)
[2010-11-13 09:41] upgraded libcups (1.4.4-3 -> 1.4.5-1)
[2010-11-13 09:41] upgraded cups (1.4.4-3 -> 1.4.5-1)
[2010-11-13 09:41] upgraded lib32-libcups (1.4.4-5 -> 1.4.5-1)

Look like it's a bug in GS...
